There has been a lot of TALK lately about whether this is a Flight game or a tank game or both.
We now have a way too find out.
Within the next 2 weeks the First ever GV SNAPSHOT will take place.No airplanes,just armour!
The snapshot is titled Breakout from LeninGrad.T-34's against Panzers,with M-3's with supply'z.
This will be a NIGHT TIME Operation.Since most of the russian tactix deal with night fighting,we will use this too our advantage.
All are welcome too attend,would like too see all GV'ers there if at all possible.Finally we get our own Event after how many years?
So let's see how many GV'ers there really are in this GAME shall we.
Fredtex had a really good idea,create a GV arena with nothing but Gv combat 24/7/365.If you think about it there really is no other TANK games out there on the market where you can fight with a large number of people in the same room at the same time.
I think that the good people at HiTech Creations should Exploit this and run with it.
So all those GV'ers out there get ready for a Night Battle like no other and more battle scenario's after that.

Interesting idea to say the least. I like
-
Sounds good :aok
-
I'll be there. :D
-
has there really been a lot of TALK to the effect that this is a tank game?
really?
i mean yeah, tanks are an aspect
-
You know I'm in! :aok
-
It's a tank game, air combat game, navel game.........basically any game you choose to make it. That's the best part....your choice makes the determination for you :cool:
-
While I don't do the GV thing myself, I think it's a good idea and wish you guys all the luck. Enjoy! :)
-
JNUK,i think this is turning into a very well known tank game.With the addition too the terrain detail it has changed the ground warfare entirely IMO.It put's you in the command seat and has a real WW2 feel too it when you are traveling in Gruppen upon a target or targets.A lot of newer pilots can,t deal with the learning curve of flying an airplane in ACM,so they get in a Tank and Blaze some one with a Big @*$ gun.
For all that plan on attending this snapshot i HIGHly recamend you loading the Fin-Rus map offline and setting the clock too 05:30,multyiplyer -2
That right "Total Darkness"!
Get use to it that's what we'll be dealing with.LOL and thats the only secret i,m givin away.
Too Nefarious,68Falcon,68KO,SikBoy a Huge .You guys deserve a 21 gun salute at the end of this event.
Hope too see everyone there.<<>>
:D :aok

Klink, I was thinking.
I really dont think its a good idea to run it at night, I would reccomend running it Before Dawn going into Morning. , We havnt seen Night in a long time in the MA or the SEA, and I dont want people not to play just because its Night.
The first event I ever designed for the CM Team, was a Night Snapshot http://events.hitechcreations.com/snapshots/snapshot.php?snapshot_id=24
I ran it once, LOL, Aces High lacks a lot of Features to make night a truly realistic experience. True Night, is just too dark. Theres not enough light from the moon or stars, not like in real life, where a full moon can illuminate things hundreds of yards around.
-
So when does this snapshot happen? For those of us who don't normaly participate in them.
-
Were Aiming for May 11th, 10:00 PM EST
-
Hope to be able to attend! Sounds great. But if its May 11th I will be at work.
Yes, I work from 1830 to 0700 EST
-
At 10 Pm EST? You work Nights?
-
can we have Hurricane 2 D's and Sturms in it?....
Or I guess FW A*'s? with the antiGV rokts?
And...I helped design a Snapshot awhiel back..PLOESTI...NOE B-24s Attkn Oil refineries...The Idea was the Luftweenies would be in Osties and M16s..spread around the refiniereies...They woudl be able to shoot at MAss of formations of B24s...then after we hit targte they could up in old 109s and 110s.....and chase us out of ploesti...Kikazzz
hehehe
love killn GVs with Cannons....
"Peekaa BOO"

If you were on for the Christmas time "night" HT gave us, night has come a long way. I really dont think it would be as much of an issue as you think. Much better ambient lighting.
As for the snapshot, best of luck guys. I'm not a big GV driver myself, although I have been known to try one from time to time. Keep in mind that GVs in scenarios have never been real popular, and it has recently been kicked around for another try. If this snapshot goes well, you might just see a GV scenario (or at least one that uses them). Again, best of luck!
-
Kudos! to you Ground Vehicle crews. And Kudos again for your use of night time. Since the retooling of night time, HT and his crew have put out a really well thought out rendition of night with plenty of ambient lighting. :cool:
-
I'm in!!!
:aok
-
I'll be there if at all possible!! Sounds fun!
-
I call it a "WAR GAME" as in real life wars or war games, they have most all the wepons. From ground to air combat, only thing missing(but not needed) is little men running around, (excluding the bailed pilot). Diversity in the game helps keep it interesting thats for sure. Just need the nudie bars added, thats all.
-
Since I spent the morning getting bombed by low sets of Lancasters and B24s. I think its a Great Idea ! Oh and Moil when you see this post we really need that 4 20mm Ostie and anything else you can think of. I was bombed today at one time with 3 sets of heavy bombers with one missing half of it's left wing and still flying.
-
! to those putting this thing together! Looking forward to a great turn out. Just maybe...it could influence some new armor to roll off the assembly lines!

Here's a preview
-
When is it? When is it? When is it?
-
This is a work in progress. There are certain aspects of this that have to be finalized. As soon as the designer, 1Hunglo, and the CMs get it all hashed out we will host the event. Tentatively we would like to have it run on Wednesday night snapshot 05/18/05 at 10PM EST in the SEA
-
Looks very cool! :aok
-
good luck guys..sounds fun. Would be intersting to see other tactics besides "operation spawn camp".

"No Plan survives the first Contact Intact"
With the Allies having a 60/40 Advantage, Operation Spawn Camp will likely be Operation Fighting Retreat.
We'll see what happens, too bad you cant make it.:)
-
I'll be there, should be a giggle and a nice change of pace.
-
I'll try and be there....
Looks great! ;) :aok
-
Breakout from Leningrad will be 5/18/05 in the Special Events Arena. Start time is 10 PM EST please get there early so we can balance sides.
All players are welcome :)
-
I actually like the ground game...not very good at it. One thing I do love however, is the great target practice it makes if you are going Jabo. Hitting GVs are great fun, and I salute those that use them.
Because honestly, when 5-10 GVs show up at your airfield, you got some serious problems.
-
Ya you do :D
-
Punt
-
Tomorrow Night at 2200 EST in the Special Events Arena!
See ya there!
-
Dang. Tommorrow is my 20th anniversary.
"Honey, can we talk?"
-
Tonight at 10 PM EST in the Special Events Arena, get ready for the Breakout from Leningrad!
See ya there!
-
All I can say is it's about time! Should be fun!
-
Hopefully it will be a Blast.
I noticed that the event clock is set for 7:00 AM.Was suppose too be 05:30 AM with the multiplyer at 2
-
All the more reason why we need this arena:

Note rthe lower right hand corner is for GVs only, high cliffs and big downdrafts keep planes out.

we have 1 of those ,it's called the Dueling Arena.
There will be no planes in this event....at all!

For the first event it will be 7:00 AM with a multiplier of 4. We expect large numbers of players so hopefully it will be easier for the Axis to set up a siege line with some daylight.
-
holy crap thats tonight!!!:D
-
Most of the people are showin up because it's a night time battle.
The battle was derived from a actual event that took place during night time hours.
Your call though.
-
WTG Germans, the Russians 'breakout' - brokedown.
Made a hell of nice change from the usual stuff, will be ready for the next one.

Was a good turn out guys,and gals.
<<>> too all who showed how many GV'ers there are out there.
-
wwas really good ,lookin forward to the next GV WAR
-
My first time in a snapshot and it was a blast! At least once we got past the invisablility issue. Did both sides have that or was it just the allies?
I also liked the pre dawn start but didn't get to see much of that due to everybody having their cloaking devices on and upping into a spawn camp at the beginning.
However, being the first GV snapshot, problems are now known and should only get better from here.
:aok
-
Glad you enjoyed it. The spawn camping was a problem and for now we will have the Allies spawn from the hanger and not give the Axis a 10 minute window. Hopefully this will stop the temptation to spawn camp
Thanks to all who participated and for all the ideas and thoughts on how to improve the event :)
-
to 1HUNGLO for creating the first ever GV Snapshot. Also a to 68KO and 68Falcon for a fine job administrating the event. As CO of the Axis I apologize for setting the skirmish line too close to the enemy spawn point. My fault, I didn’t realize that my group was that close. When I looked at our position on the clipboard it showed us as half way to the enemy spawn point. Other than that and a few tanks hanging up in the trees on start up I think the event was a big success and I am looking forward to the next one – maybe the “Battle of Kursk” or the “Defense of Moscow.”
